Referee classification system

Referees will be classed P, 3, 2, 1 (1 being the highest).
Moving through the classes is a combination of:
• Points gained through officiating at tournaments,
• Observation by the Referee Director and the Referee Coordinators,
• Seminar attendance (staying up to date with rules and interpretation changes issued by WT)
When a referee passes the threshold to pass to a new Class, the referee is not automatically upgraded. The Referee must attend a subsequent referee seminar in order for a new certificate to be issued with the upgraded status.

Initial status of Referees
For referees wishing to be graded above Class 3, please attend a seminar and bring with you a CV outlining your referee experience (tournaments), previous qualifications, and in the case of Poomsae, your competition history as a player.

The next 6 month is going to be fast and furious, so please “like” the facebook page for the “New Zealand Taekwondo Referees Group”. This way you will be kept informed of developments.\
